Internet search company Baidu has become the first Chinese group to join a US-led consortium established to devise safeguards for the development of artificial intelligence. The Partnership on AI, the brainchild of a handful of big US tech companies, was set up two years ago after the potential harm caused by artificial intelligence became a subject of widespread concern. These cover the impact of AI on jobs and the economy; the potential safety risks it poses; and ways of making sure the technology is fair, transparent and accountable.

Comment
